Urban planning education is a practice of teaching and learning urban theory,studies,and professional practices. The interaction between public officials,professional planners and the public involves a continuous education on planning process. Community members often serve on a city planning commission,council or board. As a result,education outreach is effectively an ongoing cycle. Formal education is offered as an academic degree in urban,city,rural,and/or regional planning,and more often awarded as a master’s degree specifically accredited by an urban planning association in addition to the university’s university-wide primary accreditation,although some universities offer bachelor's degrees and doctoral degrees also accredited in the same fashion;although most bachelor’s degrees in urban planning do not have the secondary-layer of urban planning association accreditation required for most positions,relying solely on the university’s primary accreditation as a legitimate institution of higher education. At some universities,urban studies,also known as pre-urban planning,is the paraprofessional version of urban and regional planning education,mostly taken as a bachelor’s degree prior to taking up post-graduate education in urban planning or as a master’s or graduate certificate program for public administration professionals to get an understanding of public policy implications created by urban planning decisions or techniques.
